Chen Bin immediately lit the two letters on fire, put them in a pottery basin on the ground, and then handed them over. It was obvious that he was going to take care of the person who delivered the letters.

In the morning, the Maface River was quiet again. Only the corpses and debris almost filled the river with broken ice, still showing the chaos of last night.

At this time, news came that the thieves had broken camp more than thirty miles away from Leling City and continued to advance.

If this is the case, as long as the thief is ruthless enough, it is possible to engage in battle this evening... But it is only possible, because the comparison of the strength and strength of the two sides is here. If the thief dares to advance like this, he is afraid that he will be given a break.

There's going to be a massive rout of the entire army.

Of course, half of the Hejian Army's intentions were revealed at this time. At least the Nanying's abandonment seemed to indicate that stability was the main priority.

However, whether it was seeking stability or withdrawing troops, the experienced Xue Changxiong left the camp and headed south with all the Hejian cavalry.

Thousands of Hebei cavalrymen rolled across the plains, scaring them to death last night.

The angry rebels huddled in their camp and did not dare to peek even though the southern camp was empty.

Soon, at noon, these well-trained cavalry met the gang's light cavalry. On the contrary, the army was caught off guard. The two sides immediately started fighting in the wilderness, and then the still army's light cavalry was obviously at a disadvantage.

But soon, as a large number of Chengdan masters joined the battle, and with the pressure of large troops, the Hejian cavalry who took the initiative to attack finally couldn't bear it and retreated.

And report what you saw and heard.

After confirming that the army's marching queue was neat and orderly, and that there were indeed many masters of Ningdan and above, Xue Changxiong made a decisive decision in the afternoon and ordered the troops who had been prepared to retreat suddenly according to the original plan.

Thirty-five thousand soldiers and horses from the Hejian camp were gone in an instant.

At this time, the army had already stopped fifteen miles south of Leling City and started to set up camp. Zhang Xing was already panicking like an old dog, and everyone below thought that a decisive battle was coming. The Hejian Rebels below Gao Shitong discovered the clues, but they also

Everyone was caught off guard. Even Dou Lide's troops in the northern camp, who had never dared to leave the camp without military orders, were stunned when they suddenly discovered that the Hejian army was heading north.

Immediately afterwards, in the evening when winter was coming soon, and until late at night, there were constant messengers from Leling City and the military camp. Zhang Xing did not believe the sudden departure of the main force of the Hejian camp. Gao Shitong felt guilty and asked everyone frantically.

Stay still and don't move, just wait for the meeting tomorrow.

However, there were still a large number of rebels outside the city who ignored Gao Shitong's military orders and frantically took the opportunity to flee south.

And these rebels who hindered most of the sentry cavalry during their escape also made Zhang Xing wake up before Wu Jingfeng returned from reconnaissance - Xue Changxiong seemed to have really retreated without a fight.

And he couldn't evaluate the other party's action at all. Although he was relieved, from the other party's perspective, it seemed that he had made an absolutely correct choice.

I originally insisted on marching, and it seemed that I had this intention.

Did he succeed? Not only did he capture the enemy, but he also rescued Gao Shitong?

After daybreak, a new news came. Fifteen thousand county soldiers came from west to east and had appeared less than ten miles to the west of Ma Mian River.

Judging from the flag, it should be the Pingyuan and Qinghe County soldiers led by Qian Tang and Cao Shancheng. They seemed to have marched here overnight regardless of hardship.

Frankly speaking, Zhang Shiyu, who was about to abandon the camp and retreat, was stunned on the spot after receiving the news. Dou Lide, who had just learned during the military meeting that he would retreat to Wudi, was also stunned. Then, Gao Shitong, who was in Leling, was also stunned.

, and quickly flew to report to Zhang Xing.

When Zhang Xing received the news, the well-rested army had already broken camp and was heading towards Leling... Frankly speaking, Zhang Xing was also stunned by Huang Piao immediately.

But he soon realized what was going on.

He originally thought that Xue Changxiong should be half a tyrant even if he was not a hero, but he turned out to be a communist commander! I don’t know if this was a compliment or a derogation in the feudal era?

"Throw down the baggage, and move the entire army westward, across the Ma'an River, to attack these two troops!" Zhang Xing, who was sitting on the yellow gelding, reined in his horse and turned around to understand the situation, and then hurriedly gave orders on his horse.

"And you, Zhuge Dewei, go back immediately and tell Gao Shitong to watch over Zhang Shiyu for me."

When Xiong Bonan saw this, he wanted to personally deliver the order.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Dewei, who was delivering the message, quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Xing's horse's head again, and continued to speak breathlessly: "Mr. Zhang, there is one more thing to say! Marshal Gao said that he has already infiltrated three thousand soldiers and horses.

The fake surrender was successful and he is currently in Zhang Shiyu's camp!"

"The King of Heaven is back." Zhang Xing was confused again, and immediately called out to Xiong Bonan, and asked Zhuge Dewei again, "Who is sent reliable?"

"It's Dou Lide! This man is capable and kind." Zhuge Dewei answered immediately.

Zhang Xingfu went to see Fan Wang again.

Fan Wang immediately nodded: "Dou Lide is a first-rate Hebei hero. In my opinion, he is even better than Uncle Hao!"

Zhang Xing immediately changed his order on the spot

"Give the order, throw down the baggage, and move the whole army northward. The cavalry will go first and go to Leling. Then tell Gao Shitong to send troops immediately. Don't worry about anything else. Immediately mobilize Dou Lide and only attack Zhang Shiyu! I am behind him,

Let’s see if those two tired soldiers dare to cross the Ma Face River to rescue them!”

At this point, Zhang Xing paused: "Anyone who takes Zhang Shiyu's head will be rewarded like Qian Tang! The same goes for Cao Shancheng!"
